the identity of Anders

A young man , after medical controll , becomes target of irony of work mates . But the frustration is supported by the boyfriend of Anders home. The refuge - the visit to his parents , discovering a hidden truth about his identity. The final, bitter at whole, defines the profound loneliness of Anders , victim of observation , about his look, of each of people near him, from medic to the policemen.

Beautiful performance, powerful message, useful moral. It can be a pledge against discrimination or only the public image , so different by the self image .

In same measure, I am grateful for the realism wise used in this dark comedy .

And, sure, the remind about humble people, too kind to say fair answer to the forms of sadism - stupidity of the others.
